Bay Area group watching over Golden Gate Bridge during the holidays to prevent suicides

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The holidays can be a particularly difficult time for people emotionally. And for some they may feel lonely and with no one to support them. But there is a Bay Area group that is stepping up right now to try to save lives.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a popular place for amazing photos this Christmas Eve, but sadly, statistics show the landmark is a magnet for those who want to end their lives.

"People come here sometimes to want to end their pain, and we try to intercept and tell them that their life matters and how important that is," said Mia Munayer.
